An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers. Rather, it provides lending agencies with security by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are built to assist low-to-moderate income homebuyers by easing credit qualifications. Different from the VA appraiser panel, the lender working with FHA actually has the freedom to pick the appraiser.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Consumers with lower incomes or less starting funds to put down on a mortgage are assisted the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
